Parks and Recreation; ok, so I just watched season 1

Overall, I like it.
The show basically feels like a knock-off of The Office, and that's not exactly a terrible thing to be. It does fall short of the Office in terms of implied realism, but there is just enough mundanity to get a good laugh out of what is going on.

Also, Rashida Jones is insanely and unreasonably hot.

Maybe it's a million times better.. still - unless they completely change the characters to the point that they are no longer recognisable, I believe my initial assessment still stands.

How far have you seen?

And yes, they practically do that.

Just season 1.

I don't have a particular criticism, only that the characters are more like caricatures than the characters in The Office which of course applies more to the UK office than it does to the US office.

The fact that season 1 is a different thing entirely is probably the most universally agreed opinion you could find.

And it's best to stop comparing it to The Office. While it tried to emulate it in the beginning, it very much becomes its own thing.

I just started it too Colin. I've been DYING laughing. I'm into season 2 now though.

I thought Season 1 would have been okay as an office knockoff if it wasn't for Leslie being so "Michael... Scotch" all the time.
Fortunately, the rest of the characters don't have any DIRECT relations to the Office. Ron Swanson has the best intro ever.

There are parts in Season 2 though that have made me laugh like I haven't at a show in a long time. I'm loving it so far, doing my best to ignore leslie most of the time.
